Terminator: Dark Fate Review – The Future Is Still Not Set

Jason Gorber — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 19:00:53 +0000

Is there a franchise where the notion sequels is more baked-in than The Terminator? We should have known that the famous line “I’ll be back” was more than a just a quip, but a mantra promising decades of reboots and rethinks. With Terminator: Dark Fate, we finally have another chapter worthy of the first two...

‘The Martian’ Review: Houston, No Problem We Got This

Not many Ridley Scott movies can be described with words like “light” or “fluffy,” but ‘The Martian’ comfortably fits those terms in the best possible way. Undoubtedly, screenwriter Drew Goddard (‘Cabin in the Woods’) and the source novel by Andy Weir helped, but it’s still a little surreal to see the 77-year-old knighted director helming...

“Computers aren’t the thing. They’re the thing that gets us to the thing.” So says a character in AMC’s new series ‘Halt and Catch Fire’, a drama about computer programmers set during the PC revolution of the early 1980s. That line of dialogue may be the clearest and least cryptic thing in the entire premiere...

Now Playing: That Crappy Comedy

Philip Brown — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 18:00:41 +0000

About fifteen years ago, ‘That Awkward Moment’ still would have been a bad movie, but at least it would have been a failed entry in a common ’90s genre. As it stands now, the film is dull, derivative and out of date. Most importantly, it’s a romantic comedy that’s neither funny nor romantic. It’s just...
